Old Ford Truck woke up and ran like a champ for you. Good old manual transmission too. I miss these true work trucks. Now every vehicle has to be a rolling video game. The chains look awesome. Ready to get some ice and snow. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

Great video, I have a low mileage (75,000) 1972 Ford F-350 one ton dump with 4 speed and pto driven pump. She has a decent body and I bought it with new lug type duals and new steering tires for $2,200 a couple years ago. I cut, haul, split and sell hardwood firewood here in Michigan. I am a retired building mover and masonry contractor.

Gave you a Thumbs Up because you were smart enough to plug 🔌 in the engine block heater a few hours prior to starting . I see SO MANY vehicle owners trying to do cold starts when it's well below zero ( not plugging in )...i guess in their eyes it's a bragging thing " hey look EVERYONE , my vehicle FINALLY started Sometimes they do but without plugging in something like a engine block heater /:circulating anti-freeze heater or even not running a winter weight full synthetic oil ...all those nasty cold starts do is just put wear & tear on internal engine parts etc

Love the truck. You should make a video on all of the vehicles you have including your "year round daily driver"

Great idea! I'll probably wait for warmer days to get the fleet all together, but I'm slowly working through the projects and getting videos made!

Excellent!! You've got my subscription. Keep the videos coming. Would like to see your entire fleet. Looks like you have a lot of trucks. Any Chevy's??

Thanks! I'm planning a video featuring the whole fleet but it probably won't be until spring time. Personally no chevys but I might have an old Chevy video coming up!
